Kansas City’s Eric Berry to Miss Rest of the Season

The Kansas City Chiefs on Monday said that star safety Eric Berry has been placed on the non-football injury list with a “mass on the right side of his chest,” and the team doctors say they suspect it is lymphoma. Berry will see a lymphoma specialist tomorrow to get the definitive diagnosis.

“At first I was in shock with the diagnosis on Saturday and did not even want to miss a game, but I understand that right now I have to concentrate on a new opponent,” Berry said through the team. “I have great confidence in the doctors and the plan they are going to put in place for me to win this fight.”
